best friend!sungchan x reader. fluff, angst. no warnings.
every summer night, sungchan climbs through your bedroom window, careful not to wake your sleeping family. his foot catches on your window sill like always, but this time he stops himself from tumbling onto your bedroom floor. you stifle a laugh and help the tall boy up to his feet.
“now, that wasn’t so hard. i knew you could do it,” you tease, patting sungchan on his back.
“next time, you're climbing through my bedroom window. then, you’ll see how easy it is.”
sungchan kicks off his shoes and sits on the edge of your bed. his eyes wander around your room, noticing differences, big and small. your posters are gone from your bedroom walls, and cardboard boxes are in the far corner of your room.
a frown pulls on the corners of sungchan’s mouth.
you notice his glum expression and sit beside him, nudging his shoulder with yours.
“why the long face?”
“you finished packing…finally.”
you nod. you had gone all summer without a single thought of your leaving for college. you spent your days with sungchan at the lake, swimming in the water and bathing in the warm sun. those were the days you wished would last. just as you now wish summer would never end.
“yeah. y’know i leave soon.” you sigh, pulling your knees to your chest.
sungchan looks at you. he grabs your hand and locks his fingers with yours. his skin is warm and tender, and his hold is gentle. you return his gaze and smile. sungchan’s eyes are glazed in the moonlight that peers through your bedroom window. beautiful, you think.
“i wish you could stay,” sungchan runs his thumb over your skin, “i need you more than you think.” his voice is soft. you move your legs from your chest and turn towards the dark haired boy.
I'd like to congratulate you on getting your CPR certification.
Now remember, when you’re going in for compressions, it should sound like somebody is standing behind you with the worlds largest Dorito and cracking it open!
Go in firm and hard and snap as many ribs as you can on the way down, that means you’re doing it right.
goddamn it, I come back to My Hero Academia for the first time in years and it’s ending???!? WHAT THE HELL?!?
what do you mean we’re currently in the middle of season 7?!?! Last I checked, season 3 had just come out!
Five Chapters left?? what?? AND WHAT HAPPENED TO DEKUS ARMS??? AND BAKUGOU DIED FOR LIKE A YEAR?!?
WHEN DID SHIGARAKI GET HOT!?!?
Oh yeah, what the hell is a blackwhip?
oof I remember when Dabi being a Todoroki was only a fan theory lol, I remember writing a few posts about it back when he first showed up lol.
Ain’t gonna lie tho, Deku’s new haircut is actually kind cool. Hm, what’s that? WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE’S QUIRKLESS AGAIN??
ALSO LESBIANS?? TOGA?? URARAKA?? I NEVER SAW THAT COMING BUT HOLY SHIT THEIR CHAPTER IS BEAUTIFUL.
and don’t even get me started on bkdk. You mean to tell me I won’t get flamed anymore for liking it? That’s it’s considered one of the most popular ships now? Most people consider it practically canon? Phew. OG BAKUDEKU SHIPPER HERE THAT GOT DEATH THREATS FOR LIKING IT BACK IN 2017 ✨🙏☺️ nature is healing
Honestly tho, it was one of the first anime I ever watched, and to come back to it now with so much stuff having happened, it’s definitely shocking lol. But honestly, when I catch you Horikoshi-
This isn't one of Jay’s normal panicked screams. This is a desperate scream. That's a scream from someone who knows he can't do anything about his situation. That's a scream from someone who lost his best friend in front of him.
The reason Jay’s scream is so chilling here is because we never hear him scream like that before or after this. Jay’s screaming is usually mixed between fear or anxiety and anger or frustration (it's almost never one or the other. If he's screaming he's usually frustrated on some level along with panicking). Jay's scream when Cole falls off the Bounty is agony, desperation, and terror, which aren't emotions Jay usually experiences. He might experience a milder form of one of them, but we never see him experience agony and terror like that before or after this scene.
This extends to when Cole gets back to the monastery in time to help fight the Oni too. Jay’s voice cracks when he calls Cole a jerk, and I think the amount of pure, unfiltered fear and agony witnessing Cole's fall firsthand put him through is why he seems genuinely upset when Cole gets back. He's relieved that Cole's alive and well obviously, but he's also still incredibly traumatized from Cole's fall (as is the rest of the team. I'm also not trying to take away from the rest of the team's reactions; I'm just focusing on Jay here because we never see him have this kind of response to anything before or after March of the Oni that I can remember).
It doesn't help that for the next minute and 10 seconds after this, there is no spoken dialogue. How the team reacts to Cole's fall immediately after it is told exclusively through visuals.
(I also want to point out that while Kai did try to turn the Bounty back to go after Cole, after he was convinced they couldn't, he became the logical one in the group. Nya, Zane, and Jay, and Lloyd once he was back on the Bounty, were too emotional to be able to really do anything. I think it says something about Kai that he was capable of being pretty logical after losing Cole compared to Zane. It says a lot about him and I think we as a fandom need to talk about that side of Kai more often)
how some of y'all look trying to discredit every bucktommy moment bc you swearrr the vibes are off but your shit takes always conveniently arrive alongside (but ignore!) all the positives
